Peach Happy Sun Hat

April 19, 2012 By Corina 37 Comments

Since my one-year-old daughter still barely has any hair, hats are a must when spending time outdoors. What better way to protect her nearly bald head then with this beautiful, size 12-18 months, Peach Happy Sun Hat designed by your very own Stitch11. Also, check out the 6-9 month, toddler size, child, and adult sizes

5mm (H/8) hook

Round 16: CH 1, SC around, connect to CH 1

I used 4 ribbons and weaved them in and out every 2 stitches in row 11. Make sure you leave a little slack so the hat can stretch over the child's head.

I also think my Dahlia Love flower would look great with this hat!

    On row 5, after doing it two times, I come up with 50 DC’s, not 45. Not sure what I am doing wrong, or is this a typo???

    Laurie, please let me know if you have any other problems. I’m not sure what happened when I was writing this one but I must have been tired. I think I have all the flaws fixed but would love some feedback.

    I just finished making this sun hat using the same size hook and yarn, but it looks so big! Looks like a teenager could wear it and too big for a 12 to 18 month child. Could it be be I am just used to making newborn hats?

      The 12 month size is barely smaller than toddler, and the toddler size is barely smaller than teen/adult. The hat isn’t made to be snug either though. I always think all my hats look huge haha but when I get them on the baby, child, or adult its a perfect fit. I never realized how big heads really were until I started crocheting haha.

    I love these hats but my daughter and granddaughter are like me! Their heads perspire a lot out in the heat so I think I will try these, but in the cotton yarn like Peaches and Cream type.

    I’m a little confused on rows 8-11. When you DC in each DC around, do you slip stitch at chain 3 and then chain 3 and keep doing DC til next row etc or do you skip the chain 3 at beginning of each row?

      You CH 3. Do not DC into the same stitch. Then you DC into each stitch around the hat. Join to the top of CH 3. And repeat. 🙂

    I love this pattern! Thank you for sharing! I’ve been making hats for our Children’s cancer center here in Fort Wayne, Indiana and this pattern is perfect for Spring and Summer. Everyone always makes winter hats and I wanted to do Spring/ Summer. Thanks again!

    I am having difficulty getting this hat started. After chaining 3, how do I do 10 DC? Don’t I have to work into another stitch to DC?

      You put the 10 DC into the magic circle.

    So my daughter is young however is very big for her age. Her head circumstance is 17inches. Would this be the correct pattern for that sized head? I thought it would be between this or the next size up. Thanks.

      This would work, you might end up wanting to add another round before the brim. Or you could make the toddler version. You can custom fit the hat to the head when you tie the yarn ribbon around it. 🙂 Hope that helps.

        That question and reply sure helped me!! I started crocheting the toddler size, although my grandniece just a year old–this is her gift-. My niece measured her head (“19) so I was going to play around until I got it right. I’m not using cotton yarn, so I’ll still have to play around a little, but you guys have made it a bit easier. Thanks! And thank you, Corina, for posting these lovely patterns, and keeping up with all the questions!
        God bless you!

    When working Row12, I am ending with 2 HDC. I have 55 stitches, counted and recounted several times, but still come up ending with 2HDC. Is this correct?

    Reply

      May 21, 2014 at 9:58 pm

      Shouldn’t the repeat end with HDC in last 2 sts? If I continue with ending 2 HDC, then on Row 13 I end with a HDC. This doesn’t seem right as previous repeats *2 HDC, HDC in next 2*.

      Hoping you see this in next say or two as I planned to give this weekend.

        Yes. You are correct. When I wrote the pattern my thoughts were that even though it didnt end evenly on a HDC that I still wanted the ripples to have the amount of stitches from 2 HDC, HDC into next 2 stitches. If you do it this way, you will not know by looking at it that it ended with 2 or 1 stitches.. but the ripples will be the right size 🙂 I was new to writing pattern when I made this one. I need to go in and edit to let people know what it ends on. Just have no fear 🙂 It will look beautiful I am sure!

          Having the same question at this point..
          It is logical that it doesn’t fit because in round 12 you work with groups of 3 stitches in the repeating pattern. And 55 devided by 3 is 18 “rounds” with 1 stitch left.
          But I do not fully understand your answer… Do you, for the best result, after the last round “2HDC, HDC, HDC” prefer to use the remaining stitch for a 2HDC or just a HDC…?

          Probably both options give a beautiful hat, so I just continue, but I’m curious :). Love the pattern!

            Its been so long since I wrote the pattern. I was fairly new to crochet but to be honest I think I just did HDC into the extra stitches. If you choose to do 2 HDC it will just help it brim have extra wave to it. 🙂
            I really need to go back my first patterns and make minor adjustments. Whatever you choose to do… your hat will turn out beautiful! <3

    Do you leave the brim “relaxed” or use something to make it stiffer?

      I left it relaxed. I did recently see where people crochet over fishing line to make it stiff and flexible instead of relaxed. I haven’t tried it out yet though.

    At the end of row 7 do you join to the top of the Ch 3 like the other row?

    Im very confused. LOL. Love this hat. I made the toddler size and 6-9 month size. Now I want to make this 12-18 month size, but the pattern looks the same as for the toddler size. I don’t understand. Can you pleasea clarify for me the difference. Thanks so much.

      The 6-9 month size is 5 stitches less around and a couple rows shorter than the 12-18 month size.

    Wanted to thank you so much, a gal on FB showed one she made and was so hoping to get the pattern and she shared this site with me. My first Great Granddaughter will be 1 in May perfect for Summer. I make beanie hats for missions and either I get a gap at beginning row or the last one there is a line that curves bec I put first stitch in same as chain trying to not get the gap. Anyhow again thank you for sharing this pattern and the other sizes will Hsve as she grows.
